1t does not look right that a city
should overrule and by its vote defeat
that of a whole State. This is the
case with the State of New York.
About three-fourths of the Counties
of New York give large Republican
majorities. The western part is some
what similar to the western part of
Pennsylvania, the people generally
being intelligent, thrifty, temperate,
native born and largely farmers. The
City of New York on the other hand
is largely composed of a very differ
ent population. The majority of the
voters there are said to be of foreign
birth. 1t regularly gives $4,000 to
$4,000 of a Democratic majority.
This is large enough to overbalance
and overcome the majorities given in
the counties of the State for the Re-
publican party. Hence we say, that
it does not seem fair or right that a
single city. with population of such
a character, should thus override po-
litically the farming interest and the
good people Of the balance Of a whole
State. The force of this view will
more fully appear when it is consid-
cred that New York State now de-
cides Presidential elections and can
virtually say to the Nation who
shall be its President. And this too
is done by the City of New York as
against the balance of the State, and
hence the said city may be said to
make our Presidents. A remedy for
this condition of affairs would seem
to be demanded in Justice to our Ma.
tion, such city. located as it is, dis.
tant from and without any interest in
the people generally, should have
separate organization and existence.
1t is not right that one population or
people. of different habits and
thoughts from another, should over.
rule that other by its votes. Some
re-srrangement of political rights in
this country would seem TO be neces-
sary and this one of New York City
is a striking example of the truth of
this.
